IIRC, the XSLT variant of the mod_dav_svn directory listing feature is entirely optional. When a GET request arrives aimed at a versioned directory, if SVNIndexXSLT is set, an XML response referencing the template is generated; but otherwise, an HTML response is still generated. So this deprecation might force admins to turn off the SVNIndexXSLT "flavor", resulting in some ... undecorated directory listings. But at least I expect the listings will still "work" (for the most basic of definitions of "work"). It does cause me to wonder though... Would a SVNIndexCSS feature be interesting -- where we generate that HTML with quite a bit more structure (divs, ids, etc.) and allow folks to point to a CSS file that at least pretties it up? -- Mike
